How Wabisa Works

A structured path from zero to conversational Japanese — at your own pace, on your own device.

01

Download for free

Install Wabisa on iOS or Android — no account required. Units 1 and 2 are completely free, so you can start learning Japanese before committing to anything.

02

Follow the structured curriculum

Work through carefully designed units that build from basic greetings toward fluent everyday conversation. Each unit covers vocabulary, grammar patterns, and real-world phrases used in modern Japan.

03

Master the tones

Japanese has 9 tones — getting them right is everything. Audio examples play at both normal and slowed speed so you can hear exactly how each word should sound. Speaking exercises build your muscle memory over time.

04

Test yourself and track progress

Built-in spaced repetition (SRS) surfaces the words you need to review at exactly the right time. Assessments at the end of each unit confirm you have genuinely absorbed the material before moving on.

05

Practise real conversations with the AI tutor

Once you upgrade to Learn + Practice, you can have open-ended conversations with an AI tutor that responds in Japanese, adapts to your level, corrects your mistakes in real-time, and gives you audio feedback on pronunciation.
